Responsible Use Guidelines

Do not exchange phone numbers or emails with any client unless there's no landline or you are driving the children & need contact with the parents.

Do not take the children on personal errands or have your friends or family in a client’s home.

Do not use television as the sole means of entertaining the children.

Clean up after yourself! No extensive cleaning is needed, but leave the house as clean or cleaner than when you arrived.

Change the baby’s diaper at least once during the sit and check the diaper frequently.

Answer the phone at a client’s home as it could be the parents calling you. Do not use the phone for personal use.

Find out house rules. What food children are allowed to eat, what TV they may watch, what rules are for indoor/outdoor play, and what discipline is allowed by the parents. Do not discipline physically such as spanking.
